Paper Production Line and Factory Setup

A paper production line is an industrial system designed to convert pulp into finished paper sheets or rolls through pulp preparation, refining, sheet forming on a Fourdrinier machine, pressing, drying, calendering, and rewinding. Products can include various grades of paper depending on pulp type and process parameters.

The process requires large volumes of water, significant thermal energy for drying, and precise control of basis weight, moisture, and surface properties.

Main equipment includes pulpers, refiners, Fourdrinier forming section, presses, dryer cylinders, calenders, and rewinders. Capacity and exact configuration are determined during the engineering phase according to target paper grade and production volume.

The Industrial Department supports new investors establishing a paper factory and existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion, or modernization. Projects may start from an empty site or from an operating facility needing technical upgrading.

Engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and technical support can be provided for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan, and other regional markets under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The paper line is a continuous process system. Typical process stages are pulp preparation, refining, sheet forming, pressing and dewatering, drying, calendering, rewinding, and packaging. Design capacity, paper grade, and machine width are defined during engineering.

Main machinery groups include pulper (typical 5–20 tons/day), Fourdrinier machine (width 2–5 m, speed 200–1000 m/min depending on grade), hydraulic presses, rotary dryers, calender stacks, and rewinders.

Supporting infrastructure requires substantial electrical power, process water, steam, effluent treatment, and large building space. Manpower is typically 15–30 persons per shift depending on automation level.

Technical Specifications

The following technical data represent typical ranges. Final values are defined during engineering and may vary significantly according to paper grade, machine width, and capacity.

Specification	Description
Product	Paper (grade and basis weight to be defined during engineering)
Production Capacity	Depending on project capacity and machine design (to be determined during engineering phase)
Required Area	1000–5000 m² (subject to final layout and capacity)
Electrical Power	380 V three-phase, 200–500 kW (or higher depending on scale)
Water	50–200 m³/day (process and utility water)
Steam	500–2000 kg/h (depending on capacity and dryer design)
Manpower	15–30 persons per shift
Main Machines	Pulper, refiner, Fourdrinier machine, presses, dryers, calender, rewinder

Products

Product range depends on pulp type and process configuration. Typical outputs can include writing and printing papers, packaging papers, or other grades defined during project development.

Raw Materials for Paper Factory

Main raw materials are pulp (virgin or recycled), water, and process chemicals (sizing agents, retention aids, fillers, dyes as required). Exact formulation depends on the target paper grade and is defined during engineering and product development.

Sahi Rasa For Factories raw material

Support can be examined for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok), Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Afghanistan (Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Syria, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Armenia, and Georgia.

Manufacturing Process

Pulp Preparation – Pulp is diluted and cleaned.
Refining – Fibers are refined to develop strength properties.
Sheet Forming – Stock is distributed on the Fourdrinier wire to form a continuous sheet.
Pressing – Water is removed by mechanical pressing.
Drying – Remaining moisture is evaporated in dryer cylinders.
Calendering – Surface smoothness and caliper are controlled.
Rewinding and Packaging – Paper is rewound to customer roll sizes and prepared for dispatch.

Machinery & Equipment

Pulper – Disintegrates and dilutes pulp (typical 5–20 tons/day).
Fourdrinier Machine – Forms the continuous paper sheet (width 2–5 m, speed depending on grade).
Press Section – Mechanical dewatering.
Dryer Section – Thermal drying of the sheet.
Calender – Surface finishing.
Rewinder – Converts parent reels to customer rolls.

Support is available for design, manufacturing or procurement, installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, refurbishment, automation, and spare parts.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Paper mills require large building volumes for the machine hall, pulp preparation, stock preparation, finishing, and warehouse areas, plus space for water treatment and utilities. Exact layout is developed during detailed engineering.

Utilities

Electricity: 380 V three-phase, typically 200–500 kW or higher
Process water: 50–200 m³/day
Steam: 500–2000 kg/h
Effluent treatment system

Turnkey Factory Setup

Projects can start from an empty site and progress through feasibility, engineering, factory design, machinery, procurement, installation, commissioning, training, and commercial production according to the contractual scope.

EPC & PMC

Execution under EPC or PMC approaches is possible. Engineering, machinery, installation supervision, and commissioning are coordinated within defined boundaries.

Machinery Repair

Existing paper machines can receive inspection, troubleshooting, mechanical and electrical repair, and spare-parts support.

Machinery Overhaul & Refurbishment

Older sections of paper machines can be overhauled, components replaced, and controls upgraded to improve reliability and efficiency.

Capacity Expansion

Capacity increases may involve machine speed-up, dryer capacity upgrades, or addition of finishing equipment, subject to engineering assessment.

Industrial Automation

Modern paper machines use extensive process control for basis weight, moisture, thickness, and quality parameters. Automation scope is defined during engineering.

Supply Chain

Stable supply of pulp and chemicals is essential. The Supply Chain Department supports sourcing and logistics.

Packaging

Finished paper is typically rewound into rolls or cut into sheets and packaged according to customer specifications.
